Must-See Art Guide: Cologne and Düsseldorf
Keep your friends close—and your rivaling cultural capitals
closer.
The German cities of Cologne and Düsseldorf are typically pitted
as competitors when it comes to everything from beer to sports. But
for one magical art-filled weekend a year, the two cities unite for
Düsseldorf Cologne Open Galleries, a
collective opening weekend that kicks off the fall art season each
September.
This year, the festive weekend brings together 46 galleries
split between the two cities. Shuttles will ferry collectors, art
professionals, and anyone else who is interested from one city to
the other (they’re approximately 45 minutes apart).
If you happen to be in either city (or ideally both) we’ve
picked 10 exhibitions that you won’t want to miss.
